Uncle Kevin and Linus, the cattle dog, are having a quiet conversation

Uncle Kevin and Linus, the cattle dog, are having a quiet conversation about Brown Swiss versus Jersey versus Holstein. According to Linus, "Brown Swiss and Holstein are two of the best known cattle breeds in the world. ... Holstein and Brown Swiss actually came from Europe. Originating in the Netherlands, the Holstein cow is the best cow in terms of dairy or milk production..."

It is a fascinating store that manufactures and sell woodworking products; much of which is of a patriotic, agricultural, arts and crafty, and religious theme.

The customers are predominantly Mennonite and some Amish - complete with horse and buggies outside. Another great bonus is that the clientele actually dresses appropriately to be out in public. And folks are respectful and polite. Just saying.

It is a really neat store. Almost like an art gallery... Perfect place to visit for someone who maintained his woodworking workshop and radial arm saw in the living room for fifteen years.

Yesterday we picked-up our Thanksgiving turkey. Wed. Nov. 23, 2016

Yesterday we picked-up our Thanksgiving turkey. Too funny - it says that it was "vegetarian fed." I, for one, am glad that we did not purchase a predator carnivorous  blood-thirsty killer turkey.

It also says that it was a "free-range" turkey. Whenever I think of free-range chickens and turkeys, I think of the June 19, 1967 classic movie, "King of Hearts."

According to one media source, "This quirky comedic war film focuses on Scottish soldier Charles Plumpick (Alan Bates), who is sent to a French town on a mission to disarm a bomb left behind by the retreating German army. Plumpick discovers that the area is deserted except for the inmates of the local asylum.

The mental patients playfully take over the town and pronounce the soldier their king. While Plumpick is intrigued by the antics of the former inmates, he must stay on task and find the bomb before it detonates..."
